Default Should i quit playing?

I took my crappy 50k bankroll to vagas and I've won 650k in 6 months and im starting to think i'm just lucky. I havent played for a few weeks trying to gather my thoughts. Should i take my winnings and buy a house or should i just roll the dice and continue?

I know im a good player but not at the highest limits. Have to be realistic here. I hear all these horror stories of people going bust and i dont want that to happen.

Right now im thinkin of buying a house for 400k and using what's left as my bankroll. This way i'll be comfortable playing fulltime with very little risk involved.

if your not comfortable playing the stakes you were once playing, don't go back. Investing in a home is a great option. Do that! Worse comes to worse, sell the home later for more...enjoy your 200k roll! (200k-ish)

Before you go buying a 400K house planning a 250K bankroll, you may want to remember that you're going to have to pay taxes on that 600K in profit... I think the IRS will notice if you buy a house for 400K in cash!

Congratulations on your good luck. FWIW, I would definitely buy the house and try to work my way back up through the limits again.
